Franchisees are highly skilled in a very specialised industry. Income is earned quickly, giving franchisees the opportunity to achieve a desirable income/lifestyle balance.
Franchisees provide services in people’s homes, local businesses and can also sell amazing leather care products. The initial training covers a wide range of very specific skill sets, however the majority of job types fall in the cleaning, restore or repair categories. Some typical jobs are as follows:
- Leather lounge cleaning and conditioning
- Repairs to scratches, cuts and scuffs
- Recolouring worn or faded areas or revamping to a new modern look
- Replacing old and worn panels
- Foam replacements and internal filling of cushions for furniture
- Furniture frame repairs

- Repairs to stitching and upholstery
The Leather Doctors work their magic on furniture, vehicles, boats, caravans, jackets, hand bags and shoes. There is simply no other mobile service like them - The Leather Doctor truly is an essential service.
Our Franchisees generate work through two main sources.
1) Commercial System. The Leather Doctor has partnered with several national retailers who employ our services to handle warranty and insurance claims. Our commercial system alone contributed over $4.5 million last year in sales to Franchisees. Jobs are managed using our unique custom built software that is very simple yet very powerful. When you join the team there are jobs already waiting for you.
2) Through local marketing and advertising by the Franchisee. Franchisees are able to use professionally designed marketing kits to promote their business and attract private clients. The Franchisor also attracts private leads for its Franchisees through social media and the website.
